HB 22: TAX/GAMING: Provides for taxation of sports wagering (Items #11 and #13) (OR +$150,000,000 RV See Note)

This bill proposes a new 15.1% state tax on the net proceeds from sports betting placed online through websites or mobile apps in Louisiana. It defines "net gaming proceeds" as total bets minus winnings and eligible promotional payouts, while explicitly excluding racehorse wagering from these rules. The legislation also removes existing provisions related to promotional play. Although the bill was referred to a committee, it was ultimately withdrawn from the House files in November 2024 and did not become law.

HB 18: TAX: (Constitutional Amendment) Prohibits the receipt of tax revenues or other public monies by high school interscholastic extracurricular athletic associations (Item #11) (OR NO IMPACT See Note)

This bill proposes a constitutional amendment to Louisiana that would ban high school extracurricular athletic associations from receiving tax revenues or other public funds. The measure is currently inactive because it was withdrawn from the House files in November 2024, meaning it will not proceed to a vote at this time. If it had been approved by the legislature, it would have required a vote by the public in the 2025 election to become law.

The legislation directly affects individuals who pay these fees by raising the cost they must cover. Key provisions include specific amendments to the text that adjust numerical values and remove certain lines to finalize the fee structure. The bill is currently in the legislative process and has been referred to the Committee on Appropriations for further review.

HR 269: PUBLIC HEALTH: Directs the Louisiana Department of Health to promulgate rules or regulations that clarify statutes regarding abortion to medical professionals

This legislative resolution directs the Louisiana Department of Health to create rules clarifying that patients who have had an abortion or are suspected of having one cannot face criminal prosecution. The bill aims to address misconceptions among medical professionals and the public that seeking care for abortion complications could lead to legal charges, which might deter people from accessing life-saving treatment. By issuing these guidelines, the department would provide healthcare workers with clear information on their patients' rights to medical services without fear of legal repercussions. Although the bill was intended to be enacted, it was ultimately rejected by the House of Representatives in May 2024.

SB 274: PARISHES: Provides for the administration of funds of the fire district in certain parishes. (8/1/24)

This bill updates Louisiana law to specify how fire district funds are managed in parishes with populations between 36,000 and 36,700 people. Under the new rule, the board of commissioners in these specific parishes would be responsible for administering the finances of Fire District Number Two, overriding any previous conflicting regulations. The change applies only to parishes that meet these exact population thresholds based on the most recent federal census data.
